  • Asian Gangs in America: Why Should They Matter to Education?
    International Journal of Education and Social Science; Vol. 6 No. 8; October 2019 ISSN 2410-5171 (Online), 2415-1246 (Print) Published by Research Institute for Progression of Knowledge Asian Gangs in America: Why Should They Matter to Education? Ie May Freeman, Ed.D. HeeKap Lee, Ph.D. Ivy Yee-Sakamoto, Ph.D. Azusa Pacific University 901 E Alosta Ave, Azusa, CA 91702 United States of America Abstract The prominence of gangs in America is a growing concern. Gangs have penetrated into the heart of communities across America. Their presence has had a measurable effect on society. Gang influence infiltrates into public school systems, where violent activities occur due to gang presence. As a result, many school districts have taken action to reduce gang involvement and violence, including the implementation of gang prevention programs. This paper allows the reader to understand the background of Asian gangs in United States and their impact on our schools. Key words: Asian gangs, gang membership, model minority, gang prevention instruction Introduction The prominence of youth gangs is a growing and critical concern in education in the United States of America. In this article will address the key causes and effects of youth gangs, especially among Asian American students and suggest effective strategies to implement the gang prevention programs. Factors of Gang Membership There are prevailing factors that influence why juveniles are involved in gangs. The first factor is insufficient education. According to Hawkins and Lynch (2006), youths who have inadequate education typically have a low degree of commitment to school. Duran (2006) reports that truancy, lack of focus, and poor grades are evidence of minimal dedication to school.

Personnel from Comprehensive Life Resources – Rise Against the Influence (RAIN) Program and the Washington Department of Corrections - Community Corrections Gang Unit (WDOC-CCGU) were responsible for arranging the gang member interviews. Calvin Kennon (RAIN Program) and Randi Unfred, and Kelly Casperson (WDOC-CCGU), as well as other personnel from these agencies, dedicated considerable time to ensuring access to gang-involved individuals for gang member interviews. We are very grateful for their help. Kelly Casperson also provided data on security threat group members in Tacoma which was helpful for this report.

  • Private Conflict, Local Organizations, and Mobilizing Ethnic Violence In
    Private Conflict, Local Organizations, and Mobilizing Ethnic Violence in Southern California Bradley E. Holland∗ Abstract Prominent research highlights links between group-level conflicts and low-intensity (i.e. non-militarized) ethnic violence. However, the processes driving this relationship are often less clear. Why do certain actors attempt to mobilize ethnic violence? How are those actors able to mobilize participation in ethnic violence? I argue that addressing these questions requires scholars to focus not only on group-level conflicts and tensions, but also private conflicts and local violent organizations. Private conflicts give certain members of ethnic groups incentives to mobilize violence against certain out-group adversaries. Institutions within local violent organizations allow them to mobilize participation in such violence. Promoting these selective forms of violence against out- group adversaries mobilizes indiscriminate forms of ethnic violence due to identification problems, efforts to deny adversaries access to resources, and spirals of retribution. I develop these arguments by tracing ethnic violence between blacks and Latinos in Southern California. In efforts to gain leverage in private conflicts, a group of Latino prisoners mobilized members of local street gangs to participate in selective violence against African American adversaries. In doing so, even indiscriminate forms of ethnic violence have become entangled in the private conflicts of members of local violent organizations. ∗Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, The Ohio State University, [email protected]. Thanks to Sarah Brooks, Jorge Dominguez, Jennifer Hochschild, Didi Kuo, Steven Levitsky, Chika Ogawa, Meg Rithmire, Annie Temple, and Bernardo Zacka for comments on earlier drafts. 1 Introduction On an evening in August 1992, the homes of two African American families in the Ramona Gardens housing projects, just east of downtown Los Angeles, were firebombed.

  • STREET GANGS: Intelligence T& Awareness Training
    STREET GANGS: Intelligence t& Awareness Training Provided by the GANG UNIT INTRODUCTION: The Massachusetts State Police Gang Unit is a statewide specialty unit that investigates violent criminal street gangs and their related crimes. There are approximately 40 Troopers assigned to 7 teams, all of which work closely with our local and federal law enforcement partners. The Gang Unit's focus is on intelligence gathering, gang/crime suppression, and case management of gang related crimes. The Gang Unit assists municipalities by providing gang training, completing joint directed patrols in high crime areas, and providing undercover officers for narcotics purchases in gang and high crime areas. WHAT IS A GANG? MGL c.265 s.44 references a gang as an "organization of three or more persons which has a common name, identifying sign or symbol and whose members individually or collectively engage in criminal activity." Most gangs have a hierarchy ofleadership & membership, and at least some form of organizational structure. WHO ARE GANG MEMBERS? Today, there is no ''typical'' gang member. Gang members come in all shapes, sizes, nationalities, races, religions, economic backgrounds, and age: male and female. The stereotype of the young inner-city minority male dressed in baggie clothes and bandanas, gang beads draped around their necks, tossing hand signs, is no longer the rule. Pop culture has mainstreamed the "gangsta" look. RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH JOINING A GANG: * Friends who are gang members * Constitutional/biological factors * Family issues (subs. abuse, violence, etc.) * Bullying * Positive media portrayals of gangs * Academic failure/problems * Environment * Economic deprivation WHY DO PEOPLE JOIN GANGS? * Sense of family or belonging * Status and/or recognition * Protection * Money/economic hardship * Excitement * Environment/lack of positive role models * Lack of self-esteem * It may be all they know ..

  • History of Gangs in the United States
    1 ❖ History of Gangs in the United States Introduction A widely respected chronicler of British crime, Luke Pike (1873), reported the first active gangs in Western civilization. While Pike documented the existence of gangs of highway robbers in England during the 17th century, it does not appear that these gangs had the features of modern-day, serious street gangs. Later in the 1600s, London was “terrorized by a series of organized gangs calling themselves the Mims, Hectors, Bugles, Dead Boys [and they] fought pitched battles among themselves dressed with colored ribbons to distinguish the different factions” (Pearson, 1983, p. 188). According to Sante (1991), the history of street gangs in the United States began with their emer- gence on the East Coast around 1783, as the American Revolution ended. These gangs emerged in rapidly growing eastern U.S. cities, out of the conditions created in large part by multiple waves of large-scale immigration and urban overcrowding. This chapter examines the emergence of gang activity in four major U.S. regions, as classified by the U.S. Census Bureau: the Northeast, Midwest, West, and South. The purpose of this regional focus is to develop a better understanding of the origins of gang activity and to examine regional migration and cultural influences on gangs themselves. Unlike the South, in the Northeast, Midwest, and West regions, major phases characterize gang emergence. Table 1.1 displays these phases. 1 2 ❖ GANGS IN AMERICA’S COMMUNITIES Table 1.1 Key Timelines in U.S. Street Gang History Northeast Region (mainly New York City) First period: 1783–1850s · The first ganglike groups emerged immediately after the American Revolution ended, in 1783, among the White European immigrants (mainly English, Germans, and Irish).
